After 7 years, 3 months, and 28 days of owning our Sienna, the sale of it closed on August 20th. We initially had planned to wait a few more years but circumstances came together earlier in the year where we were able to build again. This time however we went with a different, smaller builder.
From the 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, and 1800 square feet in our Sienna we now have 5 bedrooms, 3 1/2 baths, and 2604 square feet in our new house. We also have another 325 square feet of unfinished storage space on the second floor that we can finish off later. Our lot is bigger too, we went from .25 acres to .81 acres with thick woods behind us and a stream running through the back of the property. Among other things, the house includes a first floor guest room with a full bath, something that was really important to us as family gets older. We also have a front porch with space for rocking chairs, a feature we've always wanted but never had on our previous two houses.
